High school football player of the week: Central's Deon Hall

Central entered its game against Lanier last Friday coming off of a tough one-point loss to Auburn the week before. The Red Devils, perhaps still hung up on the disappointing loss, came out flat against Lanier and fell behind 32-20 at halftime.

Enter: Deon Hall.

Hall rushed for two second-half touchdowns and a total of 285 yards for the entire game to help Central rebound for a 48-32 win. For his efforts, he has been selected the Ledger-Enquirer’s High School Football Player of the Week.

Hall spoke with the Ledger-Enquirer on Monday about his performance and Central’s chances at a long postseason.
